THE BIG BOARD: ILLINIWEK WRECKIN'

The Big Board for this week, brought to you by Brian, who is hung like Reggie F'n Nelson.

The new charges, notes, and clarifications:

The Vols pick up two for Faison's DUI and continue to win the team award: five arrests in total only have them at the eight point mark, meaning they may be kings of the junk bond market, but in points alone they're trailing due to the spectacular tallies of Missouri and Illinois.

Oregon enters due to the weird charge of "running a drug house," a charge that must be from the civil code of Oregon or something since we've never heard it before. On paper, it merely looks like receiver Derrick Jones was arrested for contempt of court, so for the moment we'll assess the Ducks with a mere two points. If the charges blossom into something spectacular--JONES HAD LIVE TIGER, WORLD IS MINE NEON FOUNTAIN SCULPTURE IN DRUG MANSION--then we'll modify. For now, two points it is.

Note that Missouri and Illinois are up there for individual accomplishments, and so may both end up being Ellis T. Jones III candidates for individual achievement, not Fulmer Cup winners.

You’re still missing this Wazzu point.

Too bad for Mizzou that their basketball shenanigans are ineligible for the Fulmer Cup.

  1. -

If that were the case, I think we could go ahead and call the race for the Tigers…

I’m so proud of the fighting Volunteers. They learned last year that just because the award is named for their fearless leader, that doesn’t mean that they can coast to the championship. It was a hard lesson, but it has spawned a new commitment to excellence for the Orange Nation.

I just love the competitive spirit.

Still no love for Duke and its “affray” charges?

I have full faith that Tennessee can in fact win this one.

RE: drug house

It seems to be a pretty standard charge out here West of the Big Muddy. My best home-ette got popped with it two weeks before the IA Bar. And another ..ahem.. associate of mine got dinged with one in South Dakota.

I’d be interested to see someone find a place in Eugene that didn’t count as a drug house – maybe a couple of straight edge squats, but that’s got to be about it.

by DC Trojan on Feb 4, 2008 2:32 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Please change it to “Ole Miss” – Unless y’all are trying to piss me off.

“Mississippi” is used by yankees and other asshats who have no familiarity with the Southeastern Conference. Orson, you don’t belong in either of those categories, so what gives?

by reb pup on Feb 4, 2008 2:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

O, Don’t give in to #10. Then you have to start calling teams Mizzou, the U, or Okie Light.

You’d be opening yourself up to a whole can of worms.

Where is UF on the list? Didn’t they just have a freshman given a notice to appear in court for underage drinking in a club?

10 – “Brian” of, I am assuming, MGoBlog does the board.

Read the full text.

Personally, I think referring to Mississippi as “Ole Miss” is a crime against humanity, but apparently they won the Super Bowl last night….

sorry, no wait, the SEC won the Super Bowl last night, so perhaps I just have my head up my ass, once again.

  1. Not the same as your examples. Not at all. You should know better.
  1. You should know better, also. I know Brian does the big board, but Orson is the final word on the contents.

I am excited to have a ranking, any ranking regarding our football team, so I just want to be correctly identified.

I don’t believe Brian Cook and Brian “Hung Like Reggie F’n Nelson” are the same person but I could be mistaken.

I’d assume the “drug house” charge is part of Oregon’s criminal code, not their civil code…but I’m no lawyer so legal semantics are not my strong suit.

by PeteJayhawk on Feb 4, 2008 3:08 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

  1. 12 ya Torrie (sp) Davis got cited for underage drinking/open container. If a 300 plus pound black kid on the street outside the bar drinking a mixed drink doesn’t stick out like sore thumb and scream “arrest me” in Gainesville, i duno what does.

by big urb on Feb 4, 2008 3:17 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

On the whole, “running a drug house,” it may be no more than having a residence where drugs are found, not necessarily that there was dealing. Here in (Cr)akron, Ohio, it’s called Occupying a Drug Premises, which results in a citation, but no arrest. You get a fine when you come to court, or a jailable contempt when you get stoned and forget to show up. Of course, I always that it was required that residents of Eugene smoke weed.

Slipped past me the first time, but did anyone notice that the Missouri arrest included a charge of “possession of an intoxicating liquor.”

Did I miss the Madison Avenue introduction of O Doule’s single malt, George Dickel lite or Etoh-free Belvedere?

Corrections:

—We are missing the Torrey Davis points, and will add them in the week-end roundup.

—Ditto for Wazzou’s points.

  1. et al – I avow that I am not Brian of MGoBlog. I’m not witty, nor do I have enough conviction to update a blog that often.
  1. - I mean no offense. In fact, to attempt to avoid offense, I have stuck to a school’s “official” name (aside from [TEAM REDACTED], that is). According to “officiality” it’s still the University of Mississippi. Unless The Big Boss rules otherwise, of course – I know where my meal ticket gets punched.

/taking this week’s paycheck to the bank, woot!

Does the coach’s son getting 2 DUI’s, trying to sweep it under the carpet, only to have a reporter find out and write about it, to which said reporter is accosted by coach’s ex-wife and nanny and removed by secruity – count for any points? Or is it a clean slate now that the season is over?

Don’t be so hard on the SEC, warcardinal. I look at the big board and see remarkable balance. SEC, B12, B10, Pac10—it’s like a parade of BCS conference goodness.

Welcome to the golden age of college football parity, folks.

so, If I’m understanding this right, if Illinois or Mizzou can eke out a petty misdemeanor between now and kickoff they will become full-blown Fulmer Cup players?

by Cincy on Feb 5, 2008 10:49 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

How did Texas A&M miss the last two lists? Armed robbery of a drug dealer and then the posession charges… I’m pretty sure that makes the board.

  1. - the incident happened prior to FC season. That is why it isn’t counted. Same is true with alot of other infractions for other teams.

by Brian O'Blivion on Feb 5, 2008 1:31 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Unfortunately my Mizzou Tigers don’t want to settle at 10 pts. This is from the Columbia Missourian: Wayhart, a freshman walk-on offensive lineman on the Missouri football team arrested on suspicion of liquor-law violations.

The crazy thing about it is, that he was w/ 3 other kids and 1 is being charged w/ causing over $100,000 in damage to over 40 cars in one of our on-campus parking garages. Wayhart will prob be charged w/ something beyond MIP and Drunk in Public.

I am friends w/ his bro and this is just plain stupid and shitty.
